    Suspension Lower Balljoint Rubbers

    Car repaired under warranty with no issues. Great service from Richard Sauders in Northampton and they recognised the common fault as it was on their system. Refreshing to find a decent dealership after the sham of the Allen Renault dealers in Northampton. Had a peek at the new Clio just...

    Suspension Lower Balljoint Rubbers

    Just off the phone to RUK and although they are keen to assist they will not confirm this is a warranty job and they are saying that the ball joint issue is not a common problem infact this is the first time he had heard of it ! Visit to dealer tomorrow and return call to RUK to advise them of...

    What cars have you owned?

    test passed a long time ago ! Some of the cars i owned listed from quick recall but probably missed some off due to bad memory ! Mini Traveller ( learned to drive in it and would be worth a small fortune now ) Austin Princess VP ( less said the better,but was very comfy ) Triumph Spitfire (...

    I hate Northampton.

    Live in Northampton myself and Lumbertubs is just one of several areas to avoid. Parked in Weston Favell shopping a few weeks ago and returned to find Tomato Ketchup of all things splattered all over my windscreen !!! Sad but different !

    need some new top mounts. Which should i get?

    I second JE_GT's comments. Replaced worn top mounts on my old V6 with uprated ones and " crashy as f**k " is an understatement ! Replace with oem is my advice.

    Tyre Replacement Gordini...

    When I replaced all tyres on my V6 in Northampton last time, i told them to take special care of my pride and joy,and they happily placed cloth protection on the machine resulting in no damage and a happy customer.My advice tell them to be careful and keep an eye on the job as there are some...

    K Tec quoted me £71.00 for fitting their system recently just so you know.

    Cd code

    When I bought my V6 few years from ago from TWR it had no handbook and the CD player was locked so I asked them to unlock it before it took ownership. They used an online website to obtain the code and cost about £15.00 I think they supplied the serial number from the player and the company...

    Bastuck and Remaps

    I notice that Monster Sport at Milton Keynes are offering Bastuck systems and rear silencers on Ebay for the RS Twingo. Also discounting their Re Map service from £284 to £190 for a limited time and suggesting a 6BHP gain. Anyone used their services yet ?

    Northampton tesco

    Hands up ! It was me doing the weekly shop. Spotted at last, as working nights I don't spent too much time out and about in daylight !

    B*gger!!

    Looks like a mistake in the manufacture process to me. I had one of these for my V6 and it was a snug fit and covered the wheels almost to the floor. Don't think you,will have any problems sorting it,they are a good company and did a group buy for V6 Clio.net including custom lettering/logo's...

    H & R Springs

    Like the sound of this offer. Any idea roughly how much a decent garage would charge for fitting these to a 133 ?
